Alright… I have a lot of writing to do… as well as studying of tomorrow’s exam and finish a pre-lab, but I need to get this out.
I have decided to begin on a project. This project involves me living in Bangladesh for 2-3 years after I graduate from college to build a school or a community education center. Until then I will begin working on raising money for this venture. I talked with my old room mate and best friend and he is on board.
I have been incredibly blessed as a person to live in an incredibly blessed nation filled with opportunities for anyone willing to take advantage of them. I want to share this with people who are far less fortunate and gain a new perspective to the jaded one I’ve been socialized to have.
My plan is simple… but I have grand ideas for it. I need to examine the needs of the of the country. I know they are poor, averaging roughly $1400 per capital in 2006. they have roughly 150 million people living in an area the state of Iowa.
New idea. Basically- graduate from college, move to Bangladesh, do humanitarian work. Ideally I would like to raise money to build some kind of school or community education center focused on supporting the education of the Bengali people. I could possibly teach, or maybe help with micro-financing people to start their own businesses. These are all ideas I need to figure out.
Fortunately my mother and sister are going to Bangladesh in a month or so so they will be able to ask a lot of my questions for me and provide much needed insight into this project.
I will be raising money through the donations of companies and private donors. For additional guidance about how to approach this project I’ll consult my economic professors as well as my academic advisers.
I think this project will be an amazing experience to develop. The next three years allows plenty of time for preparation, organization, and planning. It will give me something to look forward to. Lastly, this who project will give me something to write about as I apply to Law School in the distant future. Anyway…
Soo much to say on that topic. I’ll update as I continue to develop it.
